A member asked:
Does well differentiated squamous cell nsclc usually respond well to chemo? patient is healthy enough for surgery, if indicated.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When one defines a squamous cell ca of lung as protentially resectable and well differentiated then he or she is a candidate for possible cure by sugery alone. When chemo such as taxol (paclitaxel) platinum is added the possibility of controlling any recurrence is very high. Ratdiation occasionally has a role and now immunochemo is coming into the picture.
